Right now, every cell in your body is going through a metamorphosis in which the new you is the end result.

You can do one of a variety things about this:

completely ignore natural processes occurring within yourself and continue as you were

observe what happens and play it safe with what you choose to be, have and do what you think you’re supposed to do

take complete control and responsibility for what you choose to be, do, and have guiding your life in the direction of your specific design

?

Any one of these choices is usually a choice for life that people grow into and will stand and fight to the death for. The only thing anyone can do is make their choice and be a shining example of whatever it is one chooses to be. That is all we can do to help anyone, to guide our families and loved ones, to teach our friends and associates, to show our communities, to assist humanity. Doing this is something else… Nobody is perfect and most are battling with the best and worst of themselves all day long. Just know that the obstacles that may arise are not there to stop, they show up for you see how bad you want it. All you can do is all you can do.

But… you have to choose to.

You have to choose to shine. YOU have to choose to shine bright as a magnificent example of what you are. You are a star. Just like the stars we see shining in the night sky, we are going through a transition. The big secret everyone so inconveniently forgets to tell anyone is… you have to choose to shine your light.

Shine your light as bright as you can.

I get asked a lot, “what can I do about anything?” “What can I possibly do about all the crazy things going on in the world?” Its a loaded question, I know, but what do you do about it? The only thing you can do anything about is what you choose to be, do, and have. If you need an idea, here is where you can start…

Think.

Positive and negative thoughts are contagious.

We all affect the people around us in one way or another. This happens physically and subconsciously through our thoughts, feelings, and body language. People sense our energy, are affected by it, and vice versa.

Positive thoughts are the most important medicine one can take. Positive thoughts, words and attitudes bring out positive and happy moods and actions. When the mind is in a positive state, euphoric, creative, and loving chemicals are released into the blood creating more happiness and positivity. This the way of achievement, peace of mind and happiness.

Negative thoughts, words and attitudes, on the other hand, bring out negative and depressing moods and actions. When the mind is negative, poisonous emotional chemicals are released into the blood, which cause more unhappiness and negativity. This is the way to failure, frustration and disappointment.

One’s attitude and thought patterns don’t change overnight, some inner work is needed in order to turn the mind toward the positive. The power of thoughts is a universal power that is always shaping our lives. This shaping is usually done on the subconsciously level, but it is possible to make the process a conscious one. Practices you can adopt to facilitate a positive state of mind are:

read, think, or meditate about things that make you feel genuinely good, think about times in your life that were great and how those times made you feel

persuade yourself to persevere and continue to think, read, listen to, or watch positive messages for at least 30 minutes throughout the day

ignore what other people might say or think about you when they discover that you are changing the way you think

use imagination to visualize only favorable and beneficial situations

smile, even if you’re not happy – by smiling long enough, your brain will release a combination of “happy” chemicals educing a state of calmness and euphoria

once a negative thought enters your mind, you have to be aware of it, and endeavor to replace it with a constructive one – the negative thought will try again to enter your mind, and then, you have to replace it again with a positive one

At any given moment, there will be things that are desirable to focus on and things that are less enjoyable to focus on. We must choose to focus on that which promotes joy. Think of it like there are two pictures in front of you, and you can to choose to look at one of them, and disregard the other. Persistence will eventually teach your mind to think positively, and to ignore negative thoughts. In case you feel inner resistance and difficulties when replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, do not give up, but keep looking only at the beneficial, good and happy thoughts in your mind.

It doesn’t matter what your circumstances are at the present moment. Think positively, expect only favorable results and situations, and circumstances will change accordingly. You can transform the way your mind thinks the thoughts it creates. It will take some time for the changes to take place, but with focus and determination, they will.

But… you have to choose to.

People worldwide are getting more and more particular about what they’re eating because we are all starting to feel the effects of chemical laden, super processed, corn fed, and genetically modified foods that were staples of daily life for years. When you don’t feel good or even worse when you actually become sick because of the food being eaten on a daily basis, it is easy to start asking questions. But until then, it takes blind faith and determination to continue to eat actual food. Why does this matter?

What you eat determines what fuel your body has to create all these emotional chemicals and reactions that we went over above. If you’re full of artificial and acidic things and your mind is full negativity, your body will not be able to heal and maintain balance the way it was designed to.

A lot of people are finding out that the best foods they can eat are grown locally, grown organically, and sold in a reasonable manor to those that actually desire whole, healthy food. These foods are available in specialized shops and farmers markets, along with the big name grocers that span every corner in most communities in North America.

Get what you need however and wherever you can. If you truly desire to be healthy and think healthy, than you’ll find what you need. If you have a burning desire to eat food that is actually good for you, than you will spend your money on food that will help you reach your health goals. Those that create, find, or accept excuses as to why they think they can’t get healthy, won’t. The simple fact of the matter is, if you want to eat food that will fuel your life and help keep in a positive state, you can do just that.

But… you have to choose to.

The very best source of whole, organic foods is your very own garden! If you accept reasons why you can’t grow your own food, than that is of coarse your choice. If you are determined to grow your food, then every inch of free space and soil is up for grabs.

Think positive, eat actual food, and spend time meditating. These are key building blocks to staying in a positive and productive. There are plenty of other things you can do to keep yourself in an optimal state but this is a great start. Need help meditating? Watch the video below –

Why eat, why cook or prepare something that we’ll have to clean up afterwards?

There are, after all, other ways to go about absorbing and transmitting energy. So why go through the pain of eating food-like things that they sell at grocery stores or quick markets? Why bother?

If you’ve made the decision to eat food, why eat food-like things when you could be eat actual food?

Huh? Actual food?

Yeah, actual food refers to foods that actually occur naturally in one place or another on the planet earth without any human contact at all. These foods have been cultivated and spread all over the world these days and we, thankfully, have the choice to grow these things or buy them where ever we can find them.

Too many people still think the things they are eating everyday is food. Food, by definition, is any nutritious substance that plants or animals eat, drink, or absorb in order to maintain life and growth.

Let’s break that down.

Nutritious Substance refers to elements necessary for growth, health, and good condition

Plants or Animals refers to most living things on planet earth, which if you’re reading this, you still are – Congratulations! Namaste =)

Eat, Drink, or Absorb refers to the most common forms of energy exchange that living things use to live and thrive.

Maintain Life and Growth refers to conditions that distinguish living things from inorganic matter, which includes but is not limited to; reproduction, cognitive thought at any level, and growth which is the process of developing or maturing physically, mentally, or spiritually.

As you can see, by definition, food is what living things (you and me) use to live. The things people are eating do the opposite of what food is supposed to do. The food-like matter societies across the globe have become accustomed to consuming, although they contain some level of usable energy, in fact, suppress life and growth. The processes and systems that imitation foods go through inhibit brain functions, promotes mental and physical disease, and sets the perfect stage for cancerous cells (that are already floating around inside of us) to group together and begin to cause issues that, for some, lead to death. Death because of what was thought to be food getting consumed over a number of years. For some, the number of years is a lifetime. For others, the number of years means a life that never even had a chance to live.

This is why some many people are going crazy about organic food these days. The word organic means of, relating to, or derived from living matter. Notice the word living?

The truth is the food-like things or inorganic matter that we’ve been fooled into eating is literally, bite by bite, killing us and generations to come.

Now we have genetically modified (gmo) or genetically engineered (ge) food-like things that have been “presumed” to be nutritious substances but are actually destroying our natural functions, not to mention, every living animal that eats ge foods eventually becomes sterile, some (like pigs fed gmo corn) become sterile a lot faster. You can talk or think about gmo’s all you want but the facts are the facts. If you haven’t seen it already, the documentary Genetic Roulette explains genetic engineering and what these things do inside of us.

What ever you have to do to get it in your head, it is essential to learn the facts about what you’re eating. It starts with simple steps like checking labels, shopping at local farmers markets instead of mass industry grocery stores, and growing your own food.

Checking Labels – this is pretty easy to do, especially now that a lot more smart phones and tablets are walking around with people. In the store with a package in your hand, Google search every ingredient on the ingredients list, where they come from, and what they do inside of our bodies. This simple step is huge and will raise your quality of life by leaps and bounds.

Shopping at Farmer’s Markets – The farmer’s markets in your area are mostly comprised of people that grow specialized selections of fruits and vegetables as well as eggs, and some times pet foods, and training.

Growing Your Own Food – Growing your own food is a time honored tradition that humans have practice for centuries. These days there are numerous ways to grow food no matter how much space, money or time you have to put into it. You can have something as simple as a few tower gardens that will provide so much food you’ll be sharing fresh fruits and vegetables with your family and friends. If you’re a DIYer, you could build a small aqua/aeroponic farm that produces enough food for you to open your own farmers market. If you enjoy getting your hands in the dirt and being out in nature as much as you can, you can turn your home into a food forest and create a self contained ecosystem in you yard.

Or…

..continue eating food-like genetically engineered foods that will keep you in a perpetual state of death until your body can no longer sustain itself and your nature bodily functions begin to collapse on themselves leading to your actual death.

The choice is yours.

Below is some news about discoveries made in the last couple of years about genetically engineered foods and what they are actually doing inside of us.
